APK-180 Automatic Sachet Packaging Machine
The largest fill in our sachet range — up to 400 ml
Four hundred millilitres is a big sachet. This is the machine for a full protein serving, a meal replacement portion, or anything where the sachet is the pack rather than a sample. Same platform and same speed as the smaller models — what changes is how much goes in.
1.Sachet size — 60 to 180 mm wide, 80 to 225 mm long
2.Fill volume — up to 400 ml, the largest in the range
3.Speed — 60 to 80 sachets a minute
4.Dosing — servo auger for powders, volumetric cup for granules
Is this the right machine for you?
✓ Yes, if…
- Your fill is between 160 and 400 ml
- Your sachet is up to 180 mm wide
- You need 60 to 80 sachets a minute
✕ Buy something else if…
- Your fill is under 160 ml → the APK-130 does the same speed for less
- You need more than 80 a minute → the twin-output models run 120 to 160, but the largest of them holds 180 ml. Above that, speed isn't available at any price in this range
- You want two sachets joined together → only the APK-180T does that, at 100 ml

Start with your fill volume. The twin-output models run twice as fast and hold roughly a quarter as much — two pouches share the width of the film.
Maximum Format Versatility
Engineered to handle the widest sachet dimensions in our series, enabling manufacturers to consolidate multiple product lines into a single, high-efficiency workstation.
High-Volume Throughput Reliability
The reinforced drive system is designed to maintain consistent sealing accuracy and dosage precision even when operating under high-load, continuous duty cycles.
GMP Structural Integrity
Constructed with heavy-gauge, washdown-ready SUS304 steel, ensuring full compliance with international cleanroom and pharmaceutical hygiene standards.

Same sachet, new film roll | Load the roll | 15-30 Minutes |
Sachet length changes | Setting on the machine | 15-30 Minutes |
Sachet width changes within range | Forming set adjustment | 15-30 Minutes |
3-side ↔ 4-side seal | Sealing configuration | 15-30 Minutes |
Powder → granule | Change the dosing unit — auger to cup | 15-30 Minutes |
What to check before you buy
Which dosing unit you're quoted
An auger meters powder by turns; a cup meters granules by volume. Ask which one is in your quote, and ask what it costs to add the other later if your product range changes.
Fill weight on your powder, not theirs
Every supplier's accuracy figure was measured on something. Ask them to run your sample and send you filled sachets with the weight spread.
Installation and training
Ask what's included and what costs extra.
Why Choose AIPAK？
Factory-Direct
You buy from the plant that builds the machine, not through a trading company. Custom sachet sizes, dosing units and layout changes are a conversation with the engineers who make it — not a request passed down a chain and quoted back three weeks later.
We Run Your Powder Before You Order
Send us a sample and we fill it on the machine you’re considering, then send you the sachets back with the fill weight spread we held. Every supplier quotes an accuracy figure; that figure was measured on somebody’s powder, and it probably wasn’t yours. A sticky greens blend and a free-flowing electrolyte behave differently in the same auger, and the only way to know which yours is, is to run it.
A U.S. Number, Answered by Us
+1 (213) 526-8644 — phone or WhatsApp, 9am to 11pm Eastern, Monday to Friday. That’s 6am to 8pm Pacific, so it covers a full working day anywhere in the continental U.S. It reaches our engineers, not a call centre. Outside those hours and at weekends, message us and we’ll come back at the start of the next window. We’d rather tell you that than claim 24/7 and not answer.
Spare Parts and Lead Time
Wear parts — sealing jaws, film guides, auger tips — are listed and priced in your quote before you sign, so you know what year one costs. Lead time is 1-3months from order, confirmed in writing.
APK-180 Automatic Sachet Packaging Machine FAQ
Traditional systems often cause material to get caught within the seal zone, leading to weak points or leaks. Our independent sealing device is engineered to keep the sealing edges free from material clamping. This results in a high-integrity seal that is leak-proof and delivers a flat, aesthetic finish essential for pharmaceutical-grade packaging.
The “Lightweight Walking Beam” carriage is designed for high-speed production. By reducing the overall mass of the moving parts, we decrease mechanical inertia and drag. This allows the machine to achieve consistent speeds of up to 80 ppm without sacrificing accuracy, while simultaneously reducing vibration, mechanical stress, and long-term wear on the drive components.
The system is designed for high modularity. We offer versatile dosing integration, allowing the machine to be equipped with specific tools based on your product: Servo Motor Auger Fillers for precise powder materials, and Volumetric Cups for uniform granules.
Yes, the APK-110 is built for flexibility. The machine supports quick-change tooling to transition between 3-side seal and 4-side seal formats. This allows manufacturers to handle various product lines on a single packaging workstation.
Because they’re the same machine. The platform, the walking beam and the sealing station are shared across the 110, 130 and 180 — what differs is the forming set and how much the pouch holds. Speed is set by the platform, not by the fill.
Not in this range. The twin-output models run 120 to 160 a minute, but two pouches share the film width, so the largest of them holds 180 ml. If you need 400 ml, 60 to 80 a minute is what’s available — we’d rather say that than quote you a number we can’t hold.

Two numbers narrow this down before anything else. How much goes in each sachet, and how many sachets a minute you need.
Twin-link is where those two pull against each other. Two pouches share the width of the film, so each one holds about a quarter of what a single sachet does — 100 ml here against 400 ml on the APK-180. If your fill is comfortably under 100 ml, you get double the speed for free. If it isn’t, no setting changes that, and we’d rather point you at the single-output machine.
Send us a sample of your powder and both numbers. We’ll run it and send you filled sachets back, so you see the fill weight spread and the tear line on your own product.
